Table 5.

Low (EC10, NOEC) and median (EC50) effect concentrations of PBO for population growth rates across participant labs and generations (F0, F1). Ratios between F0/F1 endpoints are also reported. Values are in μg/L.*, ANOVA analyses were not significant (P > 0.05) so NOEC was the highest tested concentration. <, effects were observed at the lowest tested concentration, thus it was not possible to estimate a proper NOEC.
